In My Quiet Body

'In My Quiet Body' enables children to connect with the body, to use the breath and to learn to relax. It is simple and easy to do.

A conscious breath is the first step toward self-awareness and affect-regulation. Awareness of current sensory stimuli provides a link to the here and now and to the emotions.

Many children exist in the zone of hypo-arousal (down regulated, relating to depressive disorders) or hyper-arousal (up regulated, relating to anxiety disorders). Mediation can support a move toward optimum arousal or a comfortable zone.

This meditation is one of three meditations for children, which have been offered in many schools and agencies in Australia, with positive outcomes.

You are going to imagine a lovely,

Warm,

Heavy feeling coming up through your feet to your head.

Let's start with breathing in and imagining the warm,

Heavy feeling creeping into your feet.

When you breathe out,

Your feet become floppy and soft.

Breathe in again and imagine the warm,

Heavy feeling coming up into your ankles,

Your knees and the top of your legs.

Your legs become floppy and heavy and warm.

Take a breath again and breathe the heavy,

Warm feeling up through your feet,

Up through the legs,

Into your belly now.

When you breathe out,

The colour moves.

You can make it bigger and brighter with your breath.

Making a beautiful coloured bubble around you.

Your bubble can float with you inside it.

Feel the bubble lifting off the ground and gently floating up into the air.
